This week I’ve been reading about the controversy associated with Michael J. Fox’s commercials supporting embryonic stem cell research in Missouri. Of course, Rush Limbaugh immediately criticized it as a political ploy, which, it was, but political ploys aren’t necessarily bad. To begin with, I don’t have a problem with a celebrity (or anyone else, [...]
Have you seen football players celebrate after a tackle or reception? You see guys on special teams (who are lucky to even be in uniform) make a tackle and then start beating their chests… It’s very funny. And of course, the best part is when teammates come by and start slapping them on the helmet. [...]
Check out this video: Runner slips and falls across the finish line. Yea, I know it’s morbid, but it’s pretty funny.
Recently I posed a YouTube video of A&M’s new video, and I have since learned that it has been removed. Why, you ask? Here the reason YouTube gave: This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner Texas A&M University because its content was used without permission.

I have always been a day-dreamer. I remember shooting baskets in our backyard for hours, dreaming about this and that, where I was going, and what I was going to do.

It reminded me of a similar scene that I encountered last fall as I watched (and heard) an elderly gentlemen cough uncontrollably while puffing on a cigarette and breathing from an oxygen tank. In both [...]

And if both teams are from the same conference, the conference gets two commercials…you get the idea, I’m sure. At any rate, as I watched the A&M – Missouri football game on [...]
Check out this video at Dove’s Natural Beauty Campaign. It’s a fascinating look at the process of preparing a photograph for ad campaigns…
A few weeks ago, while I was at the Guster concert, I watched an older woman perform the alcohol-laced concert sway. She repeated it over and over again, and all the while, we laughed at this foolish-looking behaviour. Well, a friend of mine was at another concert and filmed this, so I thought I would [...]
It was a rainy day, and so I waited until after it stopped raining to head out this evening. But I walked outside to the sounds of raindrops smacking the ground, and I thought, “Dang, I didn’t realize it was still raining.” I ran to the car and proceeded to Starbucks. After Ryan and I [...]
